◆ 행정감사 실시, 소방정책 개선 주문

충남도의회 건설소방위원회(위원장 고광철)가 11일 금산소방서와 논산소방서를 대상으로 2025년도 행정사무감사를 진행했다. 감사 결과 도민의 생명과 재산 보호를 위한 소방정책 개선과 현장 대응체계 보완이 필요한 것으로 드러났다. 고광철 위원장은 "소방공무원들의 노고에 감사드린다"며 "감사에서 지적된 개선 방안이 조속히 반영돼 충남도 소방정책이 발전하기를 기대한다"고 당부했다.

◆ 화재예산 증가에도 화재건수 증가...예방대책 시급

홍기후 부위원장은 "화재예산이 증가했음에도 화재 건수가 늘고 있다"며 지역 특성에 맞는 실질적 예방대책과 주민 홍보 강화를 지적했다. 익사사고 예방을 위해 물길안전지도 작성, 유실방지망 설치, 순찰 강화 등 세심한 관리가 필요하다고 강조했다. 또한 "소방안전은 소방서만의 몫이 아닌 만큼, 관계기관 협력체계를 통해 정기 점검과 예방홍보를 체계적으로 추진해야 한다"고 밝혔다.

김기서 위원은 "도내 전통사찰은 목조건축물이 많아 화재에 취약하다"며 소방시설과 장비 관리를 강조했다. 이어 "지휘관 리더십 교육 강화로 조직의 대응력을 높여야 한다"고 제시했다. 조철기 위원은 "생활안전 출동이 많아 대원들의 피로도가 상당하다"며 인력운용과 근무환경 개선을 주문했다. 겨울철 산불 대비 헬기용수 공급원 확보를 위한 이동식 수조 도입을 제안했다.

◆ 감지기 보급 확대·산업단지 예방 강화...우수사례 확산

윤희신 위원은 "단독경보형 화재감지기 보급이 소외계층에만 국한됐다"며 모든 세대로 확대할 것을 강조했다. 정부의 '돌봄공백세대 무상 감지기' 지원사업에 대해 "논산소방서가 적극 홍보에 나서달라"고 피력했다. 이재운 위원은 "산업단지 내 대형화재가 잇따르고 있다"며 농공단지와 산업시설 중심의 화재 예방계도 활동 강화를 주문했다. 이해선 위원은 "화재 현장 7분 이내 도착률이 전년 대비 8.8% 향상되고, 인명피해가 60% 가까이 감소한 것은 소방대원들의 헌신 덕분"이라며 "산지와 농촌지역이 많은 충남의 여건을 고려해 지역맞춤형 장비 보강과 대응체계 개선에 힘써야 한다"고 덧붙였다.

◆ Administrative Audit Conducted, Improvements in Fire Policy Demanded

The Construction and Fire Committee of Chungnam Provincial Council (Chairman Ko Gwang-chul) conducted a 2025 administrative audit targeting Geumsan Fire Department and Nonsan Fire Department on the 11th. Audit results revealed the necessity of improving fire policies and enhancing on-site response systems to protect citizens' lives and property in Chungnam Province. Chairman Ko Gwang-chul said, "I appreciate the dedication of firefighters," adding, "I hope that the improvements identified in today's audit will be promptly reflected, contributing to the advancement of Chungnam's fire policy."

◆ Fire Incidents Increasing Despite Budget Increases...Prevention Measures Urgent

Vice Chairman Hong Ki-hu pointed out that fire incidents are increasing despite increased budget allocations for fire prevention. He emphasized the need for region-specific prevention measures and strengthened public awareness campaigns. He stressed the importance of careful management including preparation of waterway safety maps for drowning prevention, installation of loss prevention nets, and enhanced patrols. He stated, "Fire safety is not the sole responsibility of fire departments; systematic promotion of regular inspections and prevention awareness must be pursued through cooperative frameworks with relevant agencies."

Committee member Kim Ki-seo stated, "Traditional temples in the province have many wooden structures that are particularly vulnerable to fires," emphasizing thorough management of fire facilities and equipment. He further noted, "The success or failure of disaster response depends on the judgment and leadership of on-scene commanders," proposing strengthened leadership education to enhance organizational response capabilities. Committee member Cho Chul-gi pointed out, "Life safety calls outnumber fire, rescue, and emergency medical calls," indicating high fatigue levels among personnel. He proposed measures to improve staffing and work environments. He recommended introducing mobile water tanks to secure water supply sources for helicopters in preparation for winter forest fires.

◆ Expanding Smoke Detector Distribution, Strengthening Industrial Complex Prevention...Spreading Best Practices

Committee member Yun Hee-shin emphasized, "Standalone alarm-type smoke detector distribution has been limited to vulnerable populations," stressing the need for expansion to all households. Regarding government support for "smoke detectors for childcare gap households," she requested that Nonsan Fire Department actively promote this initiative. Committee member Lee Jae-un stated, "Large-scale fires are increasing in industrial complexes," demanding strengthened fire prevention guidance activities in agricultural-industrial zones and industrial facilities. Committee member Lee Hae-seon noted, "The on-scene arrival rate within seven minutes increased 8.8% compared to the previous year, and casualties decreased nearly 60%, which is a result of firefighters' dedication," adding, "Considering Chungnam's characteristics with many mountainous and rural areas, efforts must be made to reinforce region-customized equipment and improve response systems."
